#866 - I'm Brandon Roberts!
No. 8 Robert!
No matter from which angle you look at it.
An attempt to destroy the rituals of the Cult of the Light, a ritual maintained by the Archbishop.
Heresy, no doubt.
"Harris Eugene is the culprit who destroyed the barrier of [Past Glory]." If someone dares to say such a thing, he may only be regarded as a madman talking nonsense or a clown seeking to attract attention.
But the being who gave the guidance was a powerful god.
Can God... make mistakes?
To be honest.
When he realized that the mission goal issued by Nowen was to defeat Harris Eugene and destroy the ritual, even Pete, who had the strongest faith, subconsciously had an inexplicable thought:
"Could it be that some evil god has influenced Him, causing His guidance to go wrong?"
As their horizons broadened with the adventures, they gradually realized that the Cult of the Light was not as perfect as they had imagined and preached.
But one thing everyone has to admit is that the existence of the Glow Priests has indeed brought great help to the kingdom.
Cure illness, purify evil, and ward off monsters.
In this huge church with profound heritage, it is inevitable that there will be a few people who abandon their original intentions or have dirty thoughts, but most of the priests, especially those low-level, ordinary priests who may only master 3 or 4 of the most basic glow magics, their role is indispensable.
As for Harris Eugene.
He has also made a lot of contributions.
He often carries out charitable donations and relief, leading senior priests from the Holy Land of Glory in the royal capital to travel around the kingdom, holding ceremonies to pray for blessings and protection for the local people, to relieve their pain, or to help the poor homeless refugees and give them hope of survival.
After taking over the duties of Archbishop through a collective vote of the entire College of Cardinals, he has worked closely with King Kenreddin for nearly a decade, reversing the previous decline of the Kingdom of Reyak in one fell swoop, which led to the current prosperity of the Shelter Plains.
During the red tides of monsters in previous years, he would sometimes personally lead elite crusaders to the border to help the three border lords resist the monsters.
"What on earth is he planning to do? Is the Archbishop crazy?"
"What good will it do him to destroy the [Past Glory] barrier?"
Pete couldn't believe it.
The feeling Archbishop Eugene gave him now was somewhat similar to that of Rune Monge, the richest man in the kingdom at that time.
The other party has clearly achieved the ultimate in mortals and is at the pinnacle of the kingdom.
But now he has done the most destructive and harmful thing to the kingdom!
"Damn it, it's already this hour, and you're still in the mood to think about this kind of thing?!"
Compared to the shock of Pete and others, Brandon's idea was much simpler and more direct!
"Don't worry about what Harris Eugene plans to do. Just defeat him first, stop this ceremony, and then let him speak out himself!!!"
"What's the point of just waiting here and thinking about this and that? Are you trying to find some excuses for him so that he will feel less guilty when he attacks?"
"I never saw you guys being so hesitant when we attacked the Countess's castle!"
The Countess of Ceylon's eyes twitched.
She was casually criticized by Brandon and had no way to refute it.
Because what the other party said is true.
"Every second we delay, there will be tens, hundreds... uh, countless monsters that will take advantage of the barrier disappearing and rush in. Who can feel guilty about the damage they cause?"
"I don't care! I believe His guidance will not be wrong! I'm going to do it!"
"boom!!!"
Pulling down the lever on the side of the rocket ascension backpack, Brandon soared into the sky with a brilliant scarlet tail flame and smoke!
"Gods, open!"
"War destroyer, go!!"
"Sacrifice yourself and attack, open it, open it!!!"
Although shouting out the name when consuming rage to activate combat skills will not affect the power of the combat skills.
But with the addition of this series of combat skills, Brandon's entire body size suddenly increased, his whole body turned red, and in the cold bloody winter day, he was like a boiling furnace, emitting billowing hot steam!
Like being oppressed by the might of a huge rock falling from the sky!
Brandon's roar that resounded throughout the battlefield instantly attracted the attention of all the king's troops present, as well as the Crusaders who had formed a defensive formation around the ceremony site!
"My Lord is great. He has revealed the divine revelation. The only way to save this disaster is to stop the ritual!"
"That's not a ritual to strengthen divine magic at all!"
"Harris Eugene, he is the real culprit that caused the disappearance of the barrier of past glory!"
"I am Brandon Roberts!"
"I swear by my origin as a Reyak!!"
"I don't have noble blood, nor do I have amazing talents. All my power today is due to Nowen's achievement!"
"Follow His guidance! I am willing to bear all the consequences for what I do now!"
“…”
Aiming at the most densely populated area on the Crusader defense line, [Heroic Leap] slams down!
[-368, ..., Armor reduction, resistance! ]
[-242, ..., Armor reduction, resistance! ]
[-315, ..., Armor reduction, resistance! ]
Although the momentum of the dive successfully knocked the surrounding Crusader soldiers off balance, Brandon's heart sank when he saw the "damage" that was reflected on the silver-armored Crusader soldiers in his field of vision.
The situation is not good!
This time, the enemies they have to face are no longer those monsters without any intelligence, but the Crusaders who are also human!
They are also the elite main force among the Crusaders!
Level 3 threshold? That’s just the entry threshold for this sacred legion!
Although there are less than a hundred Crusaders qualified to provide protection to Harris Eugene and the five 6th-level Radiant Priests, they are all level 4 in strength and are veteran level 4s who have been tested in battle!
Plus the silver heavy armor they were wearing!
Find the great hobgoblin Caron to specially order the best metal raw materials, ship the toughest snow beast leather from the Northern Kingdom, have it personally forged by the most outstanding dwarf blacksmiths, send it to the deep regions for the gray dwarves to engrave and enchant, and finally add armor protected by various glow magics.
This set of armor not only has incredible defensive power when dealing with monsters, it is also their greatest reliance when fighting against cultists!
Most attacks will be absorbed and reduced by armor.
Brandon activated a series of temporary buff states, but the actual damage caused did not achieve the expected effect.
It's just the level of "scraping".
“Tsk…”
The faces of the surrounding Crusaders were hidden behind the gleaming silver helmet visors, and it was impossible to see what expressions were on their faces.
Hostility? Suspicion? Confusion? Fanaticism? Or hesitation?
Brandon silently tightened his grip on the weapon.
Both sides have their own firm beliefs to uphold.
If words can't solve the problem, let the sword solve it!
